Quinnipiac assistant Ben Syer off to Cornell

Ben Syer, as assistant at Quinnipiac the past eight seasons, was hired as an assistant at Cornell by Big Red coach Mike Schafer. Syer will fill the vacancy left when Cornell assistant Casey Jones took the head position at Clarkson.

Syer is well-liked around the ECAC and, much like former Yale assistant Kyle Wallack, considered an outstanding recruiter. Wallack, of course, left a couple of weeks ago for a head coaching position in the United States Hockey League. So add Quinnipiac to the list of team's looking for an assistant.
